Made it to Salina

We had a couple of great days in Wichita...made many new friends, saw neat cars. We met Hub and Gloria, friends of Jerry and Doris Johnsons. Their friends Ken and Nora invited us to stay at their house...nice of them!
Last night was a huge BBQ hot rod and custom party at Rocky's. About 50 or so cars and many many people and tons of food (free food)
I met Lynn Moore (a deuce guy) and the world famous Dave Stuckey. (builder of many old customs, including the famous Lil Coffin) Frank Livingston from CA builder of many many neat fastback customs.
This morning we drove to Salina with 8 other cars. Today we are just hanging out at the headquarters motel lot. There was a combined lunch in front of the rooms, everyone brought some food and we all shared (almost free) I met Mark Morierty from Mound MN, owner of the Car Craft Dream Car, previous owner and restorer of several Big Daddy Roth cars. Cool! Tonight there is a open house at Brite's Hot Rod shop...with a FREE BBQ!!
The big show starts in the morning....its gotta be fun. Oh yea...it is warm here, forcast says for tomorrow a "cool" 97 degrees! Hot weather and hot rods!!
